ever read “WOODEN BOAT” (magazine)?

[Ben Hecks]

Round our skiff be God's aboutness -

Ere she try the depths of sea.

Seashell frail for all her stoutness,

Unless Thou her Helmsman be.

I hacked and slathered my way through two of Phillip Bolger's "instant boat" designs but never had the skill to tackle the really nice designs such as the ones made at the Wooden Boat School. The prayer above is inscribed over the door of the school.

I read 3 or 4 of them but it was beyond my pay grade...
